389–Crying Like A Baby
Ron:
I stared at it again, my grip loosening around the bottle, my hand trembling just enough for me to notice.
My mind struggled to make sense of it, replaying the last few hours, the last place I had been, every moment I could remember.
None of it explained anything.
I slowly lifted my head and looked toward the closed doors ahead of me.
That was where my grandmother was, inside the ICU, surrounded by machines and doctors, fighting for her life. They were doing whatever they could to treat whatever had been found in her system.
Then the thought returned, and my breath got caught in my throat p>
Poison.
It settled in my mind, and I gulped again as something clicked into place.
My grandmother.
A tight knot formed in my chest as the realization crept in. There was only one explanation for her sudden decline. The poison.
It could have been the reason she had been coughing up blood and white foam.
But another question followed, one I could not understand.
If poison had been found in her body, then why was this bottle with me?
I looked back at my hand, my fingers still wrapped around the glass.
This time, I noticed the bottle shaking. My entire body slowly shut down, and I could not even move.
Thoughts rushed through me. Something told me I needed to get rid of the bottle, but I did not understand why. I had not done anything.
Then it struck me. I had already touched it.
Why had I done that?
I was still lost in those thoughts when a voice spoke beside me.
“Why do you have poison with you p>
I froze in my spot.
The small jolt that ran through my body was impossible to hide, and whoever was standing there clearly saw it.
As soon as I turned my head to the side, I saw Lord Eldon standing there.
His eyes were fixed on me, watching me closely.
“Nothing,” I replied quickly. “I do not know how this ended up in my jacket.” As I said that, I moved my hand behind my back.

“What are you doing here?” I asked Lord Eldon.
There had been no need for him to come here. Why had it been in my pocket?
That alone was already concerning.

“I heard that Baxter was brought here,” Lord Eldon explained. “So we council leaders decided to visit and see what was going on. You know he is not a pack member. Do you really think it is right to bring someone like him into the pack like this?” (1
He continued speaking without pause.
At that moment, I was going through something terrible. My heart was racing for my grandmother. Tears were still coming and going from my eyes.
But in front of him, I had to pretend that everything was fine.
I did not want him to know anything.
He could twist this situation.
“He is here right now not as an enemy, but as my friend,” I replied sharply. “If there is a fine to pay, I will pay it p>
I saw his expression tighten, lines forming across his forehead.
It was clear that he did not like my response.
“Relax. I am only doing my duty. There is no need for you to get this angry,” Lord Eldon remarked, lifting one eyebrow.
I wanted him to leave. I was not in the condition to deal with him.
But maybe fate had decided otherwise. Because while he was still standing in front of me, the doctor stepped out.
He looked at me with a sad expression.
At that moment, Lord Eldon disappeared completely from my mind.
My eyes filled with tears, but I could not even open my mouth to ask the doctor how my grandmother was p>
The doctor walked closer to me, his expression heavy.
“I am so sorry, ” he said quietly. “We did everything we could, but we could not save her. She is no more p>
The moment those words reached my ears, my body gave up on me.
I lost control and dropped onto the bench behind me.
For a while, everything went silent. Even my tears refused to fall.
The moment I blinked, all the grief hit me at once. I covered my face with my hands and started crying hard.
“No, this cannot be happening,” I cried out. “She is my grandmother. She is my life. This cannot be true. You did not try hard enough p>
I began shouting, losing control, my mind unable to understand what had just happened.
Lord Eldon sat beside me and placed a hand on my shoulder.

“What happened?” he asked. “Look at me p>
“My grandmother,” I cried, turning toward him. “My grandmother is gone p>
Shock crossed his face, but he quickly pulled me toward him and held me in a tight hug.
I rested my head against his shoulder and cried, my body shaking.
